Bhudhaar
What is BhuSeva?

1. To establish central land hub as “Single Source of

Truth”

The information related to all transactions

of a particular land or property are available in a
single source. The history of transactions will be
available initially for the last 12 years, then from
last 15 years …..It is an authentic information which
is authorised by the competent authority.

2. To create a unique identifier called “Bhudhaar” for

every land parcel and rural and urban property
3. Consistency of core data across all departments
4. To provide integrated services relating to land and
properties
5. It is an online platform www.bhuseva.gov.in and
services are available online.

g. Endowments
h. Wakf

These are all land related departments. They are

integrating their services related to land under the core
platform called “BhuSeva”.

The land is basically in the form of three categories:

1. Agriculture lands
2. Rural properties like houses, house sites, vacant lands
3. Urban properties like houses, house sites, vacant lands.

The above categories of lands are monitored by Revenue

department, Panchayat Raj department and Municipal
Administration department respectively.

Under BhuSeva, the important feature is to assign a unique

code called “Bhudhaar” to each agriculture land holding or
rural property or urban property.

Hence, the Bhudhaar will be generated in respect of the

Revenue, Panchayat Raj and Municipal Administration.

Launching of BhuSeva:

BhuSeva is launched as pilot programme on 11th

April, 2018 by the Hon’ble Chief Minister, GoAP.

In the pilot, Jaggayyapet rural mandal is taken as

pilot in respect of Revenue and PR and Uyyur nagara
panchayat is taken in respect of Municipal Administration

for the generation of Bhudhaar for the agriculture lands,

rural properties and urban properties respectively.

Now, the state wise launching of BhuSeva is

scheduled to be launched by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of
Andhra Pradesh on 20th November, 2018 from Praja Vedika,
Undavalli. The state wide launching is scheduled for those
three departments which have generated 80% or more of
the Bhudhaar unique IDs for the properties they are
monitoring. Out of the three departments, the Revenue
department has generated 79% of the total agriculture land
holdings in webland which is the data base of the
department. Hence the launch on 20th November, 2018 for
Bhudhaar is confined to Revenue department along with
associated services under BhuSeva.

What is Bhudhaar… ?

a. “Bhudhaar” is a 11- digit unique identification code

to be assigned to each agriculture land holding and
rural and urban property.
b. There are Temporary Bhudhaar and Permanent
Bhudhaar
c. Land records consists of two types of data:
a. Textual data., like Village name, Name of
land owner, Sy no, extent, id proof like
Aadhaar, voter id or other related
documents. and;
b. Spatial data: the data depicting the sketch
of the land, its measurements (in
links/meters/feet) , adjacent fields ,
location on ground

d. Temporary Bhudhaar:

- Temporary Bhudhaar is assigned based on

valid textual data of an agriculture land
holding/rural property/urban property.
It is started with 99.

(for example 99.312.725.202). “99”

indicate that it is temporary Bhudhaar and
other numbers are generated on random
basis only and there is no meaning for
these 9 digits. But it is a unique id for that
land holding / rural property/urban
property.

e. Temporary Bhudhaar for Government lands:

Special series number is allocated to government lands-

either agriculture lands or rural/urban properties. It is “99”
followed by “00”

The Temporary Bhudhaar number for a government

land/property will be:

99.002.453.601

f. Permanent Bhudhaar:

As stated above, there are two types of data- one is

textual data and the second one spatial data.

Once the spatial data is also captured and linked to

textual data, then permanent Bhudhaar will be
assigned.

Textual data: Name of the pattedar, survey number,

extent etc.,

Spatial data : Measurement of the land and its

resultant sketch, location of the land on ground

When
Permanent
Bhudhaar will
be assigned?

1. To
capture
the

measurement of land holding or a sub-division,

Government has sanctioned a project called
‘Continuously Operating Reference Station”
(CORS) which a state-of the art technology
in surveying of land holdings/properties.
2. It is sanctioned for the entire state with
Rs.32.50 crores and strats with a pilot in
Jaggayyapeta mandal with Rs. 3.20 crores .
3. Tenders are called and will be finalised by
November- end
4. The field work is expected to start from
February, 2019 in Jaggayyapeta mandal and
will be rolled out in the State by April, 2019.

5. Initially we are taking up pending mutations

only. It means that the survey in respect of
pending mutations will be completed under
“CORS” technology and it will be slowly and
continuously expanded in each FMB and
Village as and when the farmer comes for
mutation/re-survey of his/her field.
6. Once the data under CORS is completed ,
Permanent Bhudhaar will be assigned .

What is the unique id for permanent Bhudhaar?

1. It starts with “28”; for example –

“28.818.224.703”
2. If it is government land, special series is
allocated. That is, 28.008.224.703

How many land parcels/properties in the State to get
